mGBA 0.6.3 Apr 3, 2018

A new release of mGBA, version 0.6.3, is available. This version is a bugfix release to address some major audio and video regressions that snuck into 0.6.2. As such, all users of 0.6.2 are encouraged to update, especially if they are playing Game Boy games.

While medusa is still an alpha quality software, it will be versioned separately from mGBA. Releasing hopefully soon will be mGBA 0.6.0, and on a separate schedule, medusa 0.1.0 will release. Sometime after mGBA 1.0 is released, the medusa branch will be merged back into mGBA and the combined product will become medusa 2.0. This will likely happen sometime in 2018, but that’s still up in the air. There’s a lot of work still to be done. Until then, medusa will contain all of the features of mGBA releases, and likely some experimental features that aren’t quite polished for a stable release. Every so often, mGBA master will be merged into the medusa branch so as to keep it up to date. As such, releases of medusa may contain unpolished features from mGBA master up until the merge.

Currently, about 80% of the DS’s hardware is implemented, and many games are fully playable. However, the software rasterizer for the 3D graphics is still very slow. This release should help those interested in finding bugs contribute to medusa before 0.1 is released, but it is not recommended for actual playing of games.

Some of the more important features that are still missing are:

Savestates

Several graphical features including edge marking, toon shading and fog
